Because graduate students are often reminded of the incessant need to publish and because such reminders may lack a clear articulation of when or how to begin, this particular session will provide beginning and mid-career doctoral students a space to engage in rich discourse with established scholars as well as emergent scholars regarding the “How Tos” of: (a) developing a research agenda, (b) publishing as a student, and (c) publishing as junior faculty. We hope to turn the “Publish or Perish” maxim into a more positive experience for future scholars. ​AERA Division A Newsletter 2016 Call for Submissions
